The Arts

Music

Feynman School is proud to bring our students a top-notch musical education from the moment they enter Preschool. We combine the best of early childhood music education practices with fun, dynamic, and creative programs to deliver the DC region’s most engaging musical learning experiences for children.

Music classes are structured to emphasize learning through play. Our teacher inspires children in meaningful music experiences on a personal level, making musical principles accessible, internal, and memorable. While it provides the necessary building blocks for future music study, our curriculum also nurtures the overall development of the whole child. Each class provides a variety of age-appropriate musical activities that foster cognitive, physical, and social skills.

Art

In our Early Childhood program students explore the Fine Arts as they strengthen and develop their fine motor skills using artistic tools and experimenting with various mediums.  Using picture books for the base idea of each project unit, students are able to relate their understanding of the story to their creative expression and ideas. Students are introduced to the principles of art and design and explore an array of mediums form drawing, painting, and sculpture. Students are also encouraged to express their creative ideas, choices, and reasoning about their artistic decisions. 

Fine Arts is a very powerful subject for students to help them better understand themselves, their emotions, positive expression, and the challenging world around them. Art gives a voice to all students so they may express their individuality in a healthy way. Here at Feynman School, we foster creativity, exploration, experimentation, and individuality to help develop the whole child for a successful future.
